Samsung Galaxy Note 4 ad

At Mobile World Congress 2015, Samsung bought rights to the big posters in the Barcelona airport terminals. This ad touts the Galaxy Note 4 phablet, a 2014 model that will be upstaged by the newer (if smaller) Galaxy S6 phone at the show.

L'Hospitalet de Llobregat curries favor

Mobile World Congress attendees grumbled in 2013 when the show moved away from its earlier location closer to central Barcelona to an industrial area west in L'Hospitalet de Llobregat, but the latter's city government is trying to make attendees feel better about the new digs. The more remote location means a lot more transit woes, especially for those traveling to off-site events at hotels in Barcelona.
